Diclofenac

Those with active or recurrent peptic ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, severe liver or kidney disease, heart failure, or a history of NSAID-induced asthma or allergy should avoid Diclofenac. It is also not suitable during late pregnancy.

Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat pain, swelling, and inflammation associated with a variety of conditions.

It is used for osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, muscle or joint injuries, postoperative pain, and menstrual cramps. It is also available in topical forms for local treatment of joint pain.

Diclofenac blocks the COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, reducing the production of prostaglandins, which are involved in inflammation, pain, and fever.

Oral doses are usually 50–75 mg once or twice daily, depending on the severity of symptoms. Topical forms should be applied as directed on the affected area. Follow your doctor’s dosage instructions carefully.

Pain relief usually begins within 30 to 60 minutes after taking an oral dose. Topical forms may take longer to show effect but are useful for local symptoms.

Take it as soon as you remember unless it’s close to your next scheduled dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.

• Serious (less common): gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, cardiovascular events (heart attack, stroke), liver or kidney dysfunction.
